The driver was great! However, there was a lot of confusion as to where the bus was picking me up. There was no signage. With the bus being 10 minutes late I was feeling like I missed it and was a little panicked. Once it showed up I was very relieved that I was in the right spot.

Bus was canceled last minute and no one answers customer service, so they were completely useless in helping find an alternative or simply answering why it was canceled. Have already had a bad experience before, tossing the voucher they gave me and never using again.
